The (java) world is changing... JavaFX is alive an kicking

A "cool" NetBeans error message

I made something stupid but my IDE is trying to ign ore it (lol).

I'm playing around with NetBeans and JavaFX lately. I don't yet have a fundamental technical opinion about the framework but I know for sure that me and the guy that wrote the attached error message think alike (great minds, huh ?)

Circuit City goes out of business

It seems that the economical crisis is starting to leave a mark on the U.S. retailer companies. The second biggest Consumer-electronics retailer chain goes out of business as of 17.01.2008. The official reason for this seems to be their failure to reach an agreement with their creditors.

I'm still hopping (I am definitely not the only one since it seems that almost 34.000 Americans will loose their jobs because of this) than someone will make a good take over offer on the last 9 yards.) In the meantime,
Good bye Circuit City.

Achmed, the dead terrorist. Enjoy.
